It the most wonderful time of the year! November 1st means all things Christmas. I think there is another holiday or two somewhere in between Christmas and New Years, but finally, the holidays are here. Time to say goodbye to Halloween and hello to eggnog, Santa, and all things merry.


1. Start listening to Christmas music

Christmas music is actually awesome and you secretly want to listen to it all year.

2. Saying things like "Merry Chrismukkah"

Growing up celebrating both was double the fun, double the presents, double the food.

3. Time to wear ugly Christmas sweaters!

We all have at least one of these sweaters that we almost never wear except maybe to an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party or for matching family photos

4. Putting up Christmas decorations

Nothing like the satisfaction you get after hanging up that last ornament on the tree and turning on those lights.

5. Eating more


During the holiday season, we all just get so hungry and for some reason, food is just way more appealing.

6. Buying unnecessary Christmas stuff

Then we drain our savings accounts buying not only gifts for the people we love and care about, but we just start buying all this random Christmas crap that we don't need.

7. Drinking more

There are so many excuses to drink during this time of the year... bottoms up!

8. Never going outside due to subfreezing temperatures

Going into hibernation is not uncommon if you live anywhere where it snows. Bye, see you in April.

9. Watching "Elf" on repeat

THE all-time best Christmas movie will be watched at least 10 times before January. Will Ferrell just absolutely kills it.

10. Hoping this time of year can last forever

Between Halloween and New Years, there is just too much to look forward too. Also, everyone is just happy during this time of year. Thank you, Jesus!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
